15 Anime Characters Who Are Secretly Richer Than Batman

Bruce Wayne is often considered the ultimate wealthy fictional character, known for his massive fortune and high-tech equipment. However, anime features even wealthier characters – tycoons and heirs whose riches dwarf Wayne Enterprises. Some own entire nations or control technologies that rule their worlds. Their money gives them the power to change things instantly or fix any problem with ease. Here’s a look at anime characters who are far wealthier than Batman.

Mina Tepes

Mina is the incredibly wealthy and ancient ruler of all vampires. She’s so rich that she once paid off Japan’s entire national debt in one go – a payment of tens of trillions of dollars that barely made a dent in her fortune. Using this vast wealth, she founded the Vampire Bund and safeguards her people from political dangers. Her financial power is immense, allowing her to control the world economy to benefit her and her kind.

Bulma

Bulma, the heir to Capsule Corporation, controls the world’s most vital technology. Her father’s invention, Dynocaps, lets people shrink houses and vehicles down to pocket size. With easy access to her family’s wealth, Bulma routinely builds spaceships and time machines as hobbies. The Briefs family essentially dominates global shipping and travel, facing no real competition. Her extravagant lifestyle – including trips to islands and across the galaxy – demonstrates her immense and seemingly endless fortune.

Daisuke Kambe

This detective doesn’t solve crimes with clues or deduction – he uses his limitless wealth. He’ll bribe anyone and buy entire buildings just to catch a small-time criminal. In the show ‘The Millionaire Detective Balance: Unlimited,’ his bank account literally showed an infinite balance. He sees things like private jets and high-tech weapons as simple, disposable tools during his investigations. His family is so incredibly rich that they aren’t bound by normal economic rules.

Gilgamesh

The King of Heroes owns the Gate of Babylon, a treasury holding all the world’s most valuable possessions. It contains the very first versions of every famous weapon and treasure ever created. He considers all wealth, past, present, and future, to be his own. For someone who owns the source of all value, concepts like net worth don’t matter. He sees today’s billionaires as insignificant, squabbling over the leftovers of his vast fortune.

Nagi Sanzenin

Nagi is the only person who will inherit the massive Sanzenin fortune, with trillions of yen at her disposal. She’s incredibly wealthy and spends money without a second thought, often wasting millions on jokes or things she wants on a whim. The Sanzenin family owns vast lands – practically a self-contained world with its own forests. She’s so rich, she can even influence the stock market simply for entertainment, and considers the price of expensive military jets to be insignificant.

Seto Kaiba

Seto Kaiba turned KaibaCorp from a weapons manufacturer into the biggest gaming company in the world. He even built a space elevator just to have a duel with an ancient pharaoh! KaibaCorp now completely controls entertainment and energy in his world. Kaiba himself has the power to hack satellites and rebuild cities to match his desires. His relentless drive to be number one is backed by wealth that exceeds the economies of many countries.

Kaguya Shinomiya

Okay, so Kaguya comes from serious money. Her family basically runs a huge chunk of Japan’s economy – they own everything from banks and trains to tons of other companies. They’re so powerful, they can pretty much make or break anyone, even change laws if they want to. It’s crazy! She even has private roads she uses to get to school so she doesn’t have to deal with regular people. And get this – her allowance probably makes more in a year than most successful CEOs! It’s insane how wealthy she is.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald

This character from ‘Bungou Stray Dogs’ is the leader of the Guild and has a unique ability called The Great Fitzgerald. The more money he spends, the stronger he becomes. He’s incredibly extravagant, once buying a whole hotel just for a night’s sleep! During a major fight, he used up all of his fortune to gain immense power. Because of his ability, he constantly needs to have unbelievable amounts of wealth.

Gild Tesoro

In ‘One Piece Film: Gold,’ the villain controls the massive Gran Tesoro, a floating entertainment city. He’s incredibly rich, owning twenty percent of the world’s money, and has a Devil Fruit power that lets him control gold and turn people into gold statues. He uses his wealth to influence the World Government and the Marines, making him potentially the wealthiest pirate in history.

Robert E. O. Speedwagon

As a movie buff, I always love a good origin story, and the one behind the Speedwagon Foundation is incredible! The founder started out rough, a real street hustler, but then struck it rich with oil. From there, he built an organization that’s been quietly funding everything from medical breakthroughs to investigations into the weird and supernatural for over a century. Seriously, they’re loaded – they can build a submarine or create cutting-edge prosthetics whenever needed. But the coolest part? He set up a system to financially support the Joestar family for generations! It makes you wonder just how massive that initial investment was, because the Foundation just keeps growing – it’s like the money multiplies on its own!

Keigo Atobe

Keigo comes from incredible wealth as the future head of the Atobe Financial Group, and he lives a very lavish lifestyle. He’s known for extravagant gestures, like remodeling his school to look like a palace just because he liked the style. He makes grand entrances to tennis matches, often arriving by helicopter or private jet with a large, devoted fan base. His family owns islands and resorts worldwide for his enjoyment, and he commands respect from others both for his tennis skills and his family’s immense fortune.

Satsuki Kiryuin

Let me tell you about Satsuki – she’s not your average student council president. Beyond running Honnoji Academy, she’s the heir to the Revocs Corporation, a company that basically owns the fashion world and pulls strings with governments globally. But here’s where it gets wild: she’s using that immense wealth to turn her school into a fully-equipped fighting force, building a private army. Revocs isn’t just a big company; they have a monopoly on… well, pretty much everything you own. This gives Satsuki the power to not only shake up society as we know it, but also to take on threats from, believe it or not, extraterrestrial invaders. It’s a truly audacious premise, and she has the resources to back it up.

Kirari Momobami

Kirari runs Hyakkaou Private Academy, a school where the children of Japan’s wealthiest families gamble for their futures. She spends a fortune – likely millions each year – on a massive aquarium within the school. The stakes in her games are incredibly high, often involving billions of yen. She casually treats the life savings of powerful politicians as if they were toys, and her control over Japan’s finances and politics is complete.

Ciel Phantomhive

Ciel Phantomhive, a young nobleman, runs a thriving toy and candy business. Secretly, he works with the Queen as her personal investigator, using his wealth to fund covert missions that safeguard the royal family. His mansion is home to a staff of incredibly skilled servants who are also dangerous protectors. Having inherited a large fortune, Ciel has cleverly grown it through smart business decisions, allowing him to live a lavish Victorian life while secretly waging war against criminals.

Tamaki Suoh

Tamaki comes from a wealthy and powerful family – he’s the son of the chairman of the Suoh Group. Because he grew up very sheltered, he often acts as if everyday things are special and rare. This is clear in the Host Club he started, which is filled with lavish costumes and furniture he buys without a second thought. His family’s influence extends across Japan and France, owning numerous hospitals and schools. He’s so wealthy that he can easily rent out entire theme parks or resorts just to hang out with his friends.
